: Thanks for your reply. : : That means the best fieldType to use for money is currencyField, and not : any other fieldType?
The primary use case for CurrencyField is when you want to do dynamic currency fluctuations between multiple currency types at query time -- but to do that you either need to use the FileExchangeRateProvider and have your owne backend system to update the exchange rates, or you have to have an openexchangerates.org account, or implement some other provider (with custom solr java code) If you only care about a single type of currency -- for example, if all you care about is is US Dollars -- then just use either TrieIntField or TrieLongField and represent in the smallest possible increment you need to measure -- for US Dollars this would be cents. ie: $1234.56 would be put in your index as "123456" -Hoss http://www.lucidworks.com/
